A unique and complete supplement to the existing books on mycology

Microscopy remains essential for the diagnosis of fungal diseases and for identification, especially for molds. To assist technicians in recognizing the macroscopic and microscopic morphology we have produced a book that describes the fungi that are most frequently encountered in the clinical microbiology laboratory. The book consists of a number of chapters describing microscopy, Aspergillus and zygomycetes, dermatophytes and common contaminants.

Also identification flow charts are included that helps to identify the fungus.
